Adoptions like that happen all the time, though. I mean, there are also cases of half-siblings who aren't raised by the same parent/s, but seriously, there are so many reasons why people give up children for adoption, and often it means you'll have siblings you'd never even know about, perhaps in other parts of the country or the world.

(I came down to the comments for this secret entirely because a couple days ago someone I know was talking about having read a recent account of separated twins learning that they were related due to genetic counseling bc of baby woes, so... like, that's been rattling around in my head as a thing that happens. But yeah-- it's because they met as adults and did not have a period of learning to associate each other with the concept of 'family'-- the Westermarck Effect, as alluded to below)

Okay, maybe I'm overstating just how uncommon both separated siblings and accidental relationships between them may be, but it's still uncommon, and Westermark means relationships between siblings raised together are unlikely or chock full of issues.

As I said in my comment directly to the fscom post, I simply keep fictional incest and realistic incest issues compartmentalised in my mind.

Oh, yeah-- gosh, okay, just re-read what I wrote and I feel like it's awkwardly worded. The accidental incest is definitely not common, I shouldn't think, right. Just the adoption part and the not necessarily knowing all your blood relatives.
